[Verse 1]
I really don't know what I'm doing here
I really think I should've gone to bed tonight
But "Just one drink and there're some people to meet you
I think that you'll like them, I have to say we do
And I promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go
Now why don't I just get you another while you just say hello?
Yeah, just say hello
Just say hello"
[Verse 2]
And I'm clutching it tight, another glass in my hand
And my mouth and the smiles, moving up as I stand
Too close and too wide and the smiles are too bright
I breathe in too deep and my head's getting light
But the air is getting heavier and it's closer and I'm starting to sway
The hands all on my shoulders don't have names and they won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
So here I go
Here I go again
[Chorus 1]
Now I'm falling into strangers and it's only just eleven
And I'm staring like a child until someone slips me heaven
I'll take it on my knees just like a thousand times before
I get transfixed, that fix, and I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah, I'm looking at the floor
Yeah, looking at the floor
[Verse 3]
And I'm starting to laugh like an animal in pain
I've got blood on my hands, I've got hands in my brain
The first short retch leaves me gasping for more
And I stagger over, screaming on my way to the floor
And I'm back on my back with the lights and the lies in my eyes
The colour and the music's too loud and my head's all the wrong size
[Pre-Chorus]
So here I go
Here I go again
[Chorus 2]
Yeah I laugh and I jump and I sing and I laugh
And I dance and I laugh and I laugh and I laugh
And I can't seem to think where this is, who I am
Why I'm keeping this going
Keep pouring it out, keep pouring it down
Keeping it going, keep pouring it down
The way the rain comes down hard
That's the way I feel inside
[Outro]
I can't take it anymore, this it I've become
This is it like I get when my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth, I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death, like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear and all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix and I drink until I'm sick
And all the people I meet and all the shapes that I throw
And all the faces I make and all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart, oh, I feel so tired
The way the rain comes down hard is how I feel inside
The way the rain comes down hard is how I feel inside
